1 month ago
The Midwest Region fulfills the FTC's consumer protection mission by bringing law enforcement actions to stop unfair, deceptive and fraudulent business practices; building state and local partnerships; and educating consumers and businesses about their rights and responsibilities.
Headquartered in Chicago, this regional office serves the residents of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Nebraska, North Dakota, Minnesota, Missouri, South Dakota, and Wisconsin.
Duties
If you are selected as Regional Director, you will have overall responsibility for planning, coordinating, and implementing a comprehensive program designed to further the agency's strategic goal of protecting consumers. With the Assistant Regional Director, you will plan, organize, direct, and evaluate the work of a staff of attorneys, investigators, and other professional and administrative staff engaged in investigation, negotiation, litigation, compliance, and consumer and business education activities.
The responsibility of the Midwest Region encompasses a wide range of cases and projects in the broad field of consumer protection law, arising under the Federal Trade Commission Act, the Telemarketing Sales Rule, the Restore Online Shoppers' Confidence Act, and others.
The efforts of the Midwest Region are directed toward safeguarding the consuming public by eliminating fraud and deception in the marketplace. In order to accomplish this, the staff investigates alleged violations of the law, negotiates agreements to stop illegal acts, drafts formal complaints, develops legal theories and facts for presentation, and conducts litigation in Federal Court and before Administrative Law Judges.
Within the area served by the Midwest Region, you will be responsible for establishing and maintaining programs that foster effective federal-state-local relationships to attack consumer fraud and other unfair or deceptive trade practices. You will also be responsible for managing the office's docket of complex federal court or administrative litigation. You will serve as a spokesperson for the Commission on matters of regional concern in meetings and interviews with representatives of the news media, consumer groups, state and local authorities, and the general public.
You must work effectively with the Office of the Director of the Bureau of Consumer Protection, the Associate and Assistant Directors of various divisions, and others in headquarters and regional offices to implement the Bureau of Consumer Protection's strategic plans. Within that strategic plan, you will establish work priorities for the office, initiate changes in program emphasis, and assure that the resources of the office are effectively utilized. Your management responsibilities will include providing training and development opportunities for the staff, establishing performance standards, recommending employees for promotions and performance awards, correcting performance deficiencies, and initiating disciplinary actions.
